Lance Armstrong, seen here in a file photo, makes first public appearance since U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced it would strip him of his seven Tour de France titles and ban him from cycling for life.

After announcing last week he would no longer fight the doping charges against him, Lance Armstrong made his first public appearance post-scandal, introducing himself as a Tour de France champion at a cancer conference in Montreal Wednesday.

"Good morning....in light of recent events I thought I might reintroduce myself," the cyclist told the audience. "My name is Lance Armstrong. I am a cancer survivor...I'm a father of five. And yes, I won the Tour de France seven times...and for those who have no idea what I'm talking about...I love you."

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency confirmed last week that it would strip Armstrong of all of his record-setting seven Tour de France Titles and ban him from cycling for life, after he declared he was done fighting the charges.
